Chapter-6-"Do you want to maybe fuck him?"

Layla Alberto's POV

Ronny is my Ex. We dated in our second year of Post Graduation. He was sweet, shy, gentlemanly, lovely and all those things. He always gave me space. Sometimes he did push me to try new things and I am glad he did. I felt alive again.

I was scared and not interested in dating anyone after Ben broke up with me till I met Ronny. He was just... there. He became my friend when I needed him, he became my mentor when I needed, he became a volunteer if I conducted any programs for charities and he became my cheerleader. One day finally he asked me out and I felt like it's time to move forward.

He is a simple guy. Not rich like Papa, but comes from a nice family. He is hardworking. He took me out on dates, the simplest ones and never let me pay even when I insisted. He didn't take me on fancy dates, but wherever he took me, it was decent, lovely and just what I needed. Everything was going well until I came to know a little secret he was hiding.

He first approached me because I was the daughter of Mr. Lucas Alberto. Papa is his role model and he wanted to work for Papa. I was the short cut. He said that he really did like me later, but I just couldn't see it working. I know he did like me, but I just want someone to like me for me. I wanted him to like me because I am Layla. He later moved to work for our branch is California and always reached out to me.

"Why would you do that?!" I yell at the angry man standing in front of me as I pick up the roses and he grabs my elbow and yanks me up. His grip is so tight. "Ah!" I yelp and try to pry his arm. His face softens a little and his grip loosens but he doesn't let go. I am suddenly yanked into his chest. His arm is around my waist and our noses are touching. My breath hitches. Our eyes meet and my heartbeat fastens.

"You are supposed to be mine, my Little Star." He whispers against my lips and before I know it his lips are on mine. My eyes widen and I try to push him away. He is like an elephant and wouldn't budge. He bites my lip and I gasp. His tongue enters my mouth. His other hand holds my head in place and I am lost as I reminisce the memory to us kissing. He is claiming my mouth with such possessiveness.

Wait! Stop!! Remember, Layla! Remember what he said to you when you broke up!!

I am just happy that I got to fuck the daughter of the Duke. You are you father's pride. And yesterday... I got to. Fuck. That. Pride!

My brain starts working and I push him off me with all my might. Anger swirls through my veins and I slap him right in his face. None of us expected me to do that. I never, ever slapped anyone in my life. I never raise my hand. He looks at me in shock.

"Don't you ever try that with me!" I want to scream, but it comes in a low threatening voice. "You were one that walked away! You were the one those chose to break up! You have no right over whom I date and whom I chose to fuck-Ah!" He takes desktop screen on the desk and smashes it to the ground.

"You better tell Ronny to watch his back." He warns before walking to the elevator all powerful and angry.

I stand there with the mess he left behind. Not the mess on the floor. The mess of my heart.

"So how is it going with Ben? You two tried to kill each other yet?" Max asks and I roll my eyes. He is calling in to check how it is going. It is only two but we are at each other's throats.

"We are almost there." I tell him honestly, but he thinks I am joking.

"Okay. Let me know if you need anything." He says.

"Yes please. My Credit Cards, my Cars, my house and make Papa speak to me." I tell him without any shame. "Also, make me stop working FOR THAT DEMON!!" I yell into the phone. I am sure Max pulled his phone away from his ear.

"See! This is the Brat that needs to go! Tell you what, let's make a deal." He says and I sit upright.

"I am listening."

"You take the Internship at Ben's company seriously and I will work on convincing Papa to speak with you." I pout. Anything for Papa.

"I accept this deal. You better keep up your part."

"Only if you keep yours." We end the call and Jenna comes in with a bowl of fruits and ice cream.

"So tell me, how hard did you slap him?" I told her about the kiss and she wants the details now. I take a spoon and scoop my ice cream.

"I can't believe he just did that! What does he think of me? That I am just pining for him all these years?!" I look at Jenna and she silently eats her fruits. "Jen!"

"Well..." She trails off.

"I can't even! You are my friend!"

"That's why I am helping you figure shit out instead of telling you what you want to listen." I sigh. I just want her to tell me what I want to hear from her. "Do you want me to call him an asshole?" She asks. I nod. "He is a fucking bitch! An asshole that hurt my sweet fucking friend!" She is holding my chin now. "But girl, you got it bad for that asshole!" I throw my pillow at her.

"I hate you!" She laughs at my torment.

"Do you want to maybe fuck him?" She asks.

"Jen! I will kill you bitch!"

"Okay! Okay!" She falls back on the bed and I do too.

"What am I going to do, Jen?" I ask as I look up at the ceiling.

"What do you want to do? If he tries again, do you want to give him a chance?" She asks.

"He has a girlfriend and he kissed me! That's basically cheating! Oh my God am I the person that's going to break them up?" I ask.

"No! Also about Ronny, do you want to give him a chance?" Jenna asks. I sigh again.

"Oh Jen! You know him. You saw how we both were. I do want to give it a chance, but I... I don't know. I wish he approached me because he wanted to meet Layla, not Mr. Alberto's daughter."

"Personally, I think it would be great if you gave him a chance." I look at her in shock. She shrugs. "He is sending you flowers every week without fail. He is sending you emails and he even texts me about you sometimes. I think he misses you." I purse my lips as I think about them. I need to speak to Mom about Ronny. "Now about Mike." I turn to her.

"I know. I know. I shouldn't be helping him, but it's a kid, Jen. She is three years old!" She has already helped me transfer the money to Mike and now I am only left with five thousand dollars in my account.

"Fuck, Lyls! You can't... Maybe this internship is a good idea. Maybe you will learn whom to trust and whom to not." She mutters. I shake my head at her. "Have they found where Chris is?" She asks and I suddenly lose my appetite. He was the one that gave me drugs and now he is nowhere to be found.

"No." I murmur. Everything that blew up is because of my naivety. If I didn't take those drugs, all of this would have been avoidable.

"Let's just watch some Magic Mike and forget about everything for now, okay?" She asks and my eyes twinkle in happiness.

Anything to make me forget the feel on his lips on mine, his scent and the feel of being in his arms would work.

"Is the Demon not here yet?" I ask Ellie as I type away on my laptop. It's almost Ten O'clock. Ellie looks at me in confusion. "The Demon." I nod towards the room of the Boss, Ben. Her mouth forms an O as she understands and she grins.

"That's an apt name." She says and then suddenly stiffens.

"It's okay, Ellie. I don't like him either. You don't have to worry." I assure her. She can snitch to me. "I am good at keeping secrets." She relaxes.

"He will be coming in around ten-thirty today. He has a breakfast meeting today. I think he might need a break with everything happening." She shakes her head. "The next few days might be hard for us." I frown at her words.

"What?" Why would they be hard for us?

"Didn't you see the news today?" She asks and I shake my head.

"About what?" My phone rings and I see that it's Jenna calling. "Excuse me." I pick up the call. "Yello!!" I greet cheerfully. She lifted my mood last night. Ah! I need this bitch in my life!

"Did you see the news?" She screeches through the phone that I am sure Ellie heard her as well. I look at Ellie who is nodding her head. What did I miss?! Is it about me? Oh God! Please don't let it be about me! Before I can respond she speaks again. "Ben and Miranda broke up!"

"What?!!" I nearly drop my phone. Ellie types something on her laptop and turns the screen towards me. I read the big heading.

The Country's IT COUPLE call it quits!
